Abstract: |
A length of brick wall, which had been constructed onto the top of the masonry remains of the historic city wall, has begun to lean and is in danger of collapse. Two evaluation trenches were excavated in order to provide information regarding the foundations of the brick wall, their intersection with the masonry city wall and the depth/nature of archaeological deposits associated with the city defences. The trenches were excavated on the eastern side of the brick wall within a car park, to the rear of 32 Bridge Street. The northernmost trench (Trench 1) revealed that the city wall survives above the present ground surface and had been cut into in order to insert the kerb and make-up levels for the car park. The southernmost trench (Trench 2) was excavated to a depth of 1m below the present ground surface. At this depth, the top of the city wall was encountered below a series of post-medieval levelling deposits. |
